InfiniBand Active Optical Cable CBO JNP-25G-AOC-1M-BO 25G SFP28, 1 m, aqua

Active InfiniBand optical cable CBO JNP-25G-AOC-1M-BO is a 1-meter SFP28-compatible AOC designed for 25G links. Supplied in aqua color, it provides a factory-terminated, low-latency fiber connection for switches, servers and storage with SFP28 ports. The cable supports short-reach data center interconnects and high-speed server-to-switch links where consistent 25G optical performance and ease of installation are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 25 Gbps per lane performance over a reliable duplex fiber connection with minimal signal loss and EMI immunity. The factory-terminated SFP28 connectors eliminate field polishing or splicing, reducing deployment time and ensuring consistent link quality. Its 1 m length and aqua jacket make it suitable for dense rack environments where short, identifiable fiber connections are needed. Low latency characteristics support time-sensitive networking and storage traffic.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between servers and switches within racks
• Top-of-rack to aggregation switch links in data centers
• High-performance storage arrays requiring 25G fiber interconnects
• Environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference where optical links are preferred

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbps (SFP28 compatible)
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP28 duplex (factory-terminated)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Jacket color: Aqua for easy identification
• Latency: Low-latency optical transmission suitable for time-sensitive applications

How to use

Install by inserting the SFP28 plugs into compatible SFP28 ports on network switches, servers or storage devices. Ensure both ends are fully seated and latched according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. No fiber termination or additional transceivers are required because the AOC is factory-terminated. Check link status LEDs on connected devices and verify interface settings or auto-negotiation as appropriate for 25G operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; observe the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer and keep the cable protected from mechanical stress. Use the 1 m length for intra-rack or short inter-rack connections and label both ends if used in dense cabling installations to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
